Effect of temperature on Escherichia coli bloodstream infection in a nationwide population-based study of incidence and resistance

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2022
Background The incidence of Escherichia coli bloodstream infections (BSI) is high and increasing. We aimed to describe the effect of season and temperature on the incidence of E. coli BSI and antibiotic-resistant E.

A framework for identifying the recent origins of mobile antibiotic resistance genes

Communications Biology, 2021
Ebmeyer and colleagues developed a genomic framework for identification and scrutiny of the origins of antibiotic resistance genes. Using data scoured from the literature and publicly available genomes, their results indicate that only 81% of previously ...

Discovery of a novel integron-borne aminoglycoside resistance gene present in clinical pathogens by screening environmental bacterial communities

Microbiome, 2020
Background New antibiotic resistance determinants are generally discovered too late, long after they have irreversibly emerged in pathogens and spread widely.

A Novel, Integron-Regulated, Class C β-Lactamase

Antibiotics, 2020
AmpC-type β-lactamases severely impair treatment of many bacterial infections, due to their broad spectrum (they hydrolyze virtually all β-lactams, except fourth-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems) and the increasing incidence of plasmid-

Comparative Analysis of Genetic Determinants Encoding Cadmium, Arsenic, and Benzalkonium Chloride Resistance in Listeria monocytogenes of Human, Food, and Environmental Origin

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Environmental adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes is a complex process involving various mechanisms that can contribute to their survival in the environment, further spreading throughout the food chain and the development of listeriosis. The aim of this

The Association between Insertion Sequences and Antibiotic Resistance Genes

mSphere, 2020
Insertion sequences (ISs) are abundant mobile genetic elements on bacterial genomes, responsible for mobilization of many genes, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Colistin Dependency among Colistin-Heteroresistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates

Microorganisms, 2021
Colistin dependent (CD) isolates are dependent on colistin for optimal growth. Here we aimed to systematically determine the emergence of CD among colistin-heteroresistant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates. We also examined the

Genome sequences of two clinical Escherichia coli isolates harboring the novel colistin-resistance gene variants mcr-1.26 and mcr-1.27

Gut Pathogens, 2020
Background Colistin is still a widely used antibiotic in veterinary medicine although it is a last-line treatment option for hospitalized patients with infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Multiplex lateral flow immunochromatographic assay is an effective method to detect carbapenemases without risk of OXA-48-like cross reactivity

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2021
Background It is essential to detect carriers of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales in order to implement infection control measures. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the NG-Test® CARBA 5 (CARBA 5) assay for detection of five ...

Acinetobacter baumannii Bloodstream Infections: A Nationwide Study in Israel

Microorganisms, 2023
Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a major public health concern and associated with high mortality. We describe the nationwide incidence, antimicrobial resistance, and mortality of Ab-BSI in Israel using laboratory-based BSI ...
